Day 50 - Sunday 1st August: Stanford in the Vale Half Marathon

Run: 13.18 miles
Time: 1 hour 59 minutes 07 seconds



Today's training run called for 13 miles, so I did a half marathon distance, knocking off about 3 minutes for this route. I wanted to do it in about 2 hours, and made it fairly comfortably.

So far then, in 50 days of training I have spent 51 hours doing the following:
Run 27 times
162.82 miles
Cycle 7 times 91.21 miles
Swim 6 times 4900 metres
Row 2 times 4000 metres
Squash 1 time 5 games 1 hour
and been to 21 classes at the gym

There are 63 days to go until the Loch
Ness Marathon, which will mean another couple of hundred miles before the big day.

Running 13.1 miles in memory of Carl

I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon on 15th March 2009. I managed the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Not a bad effort for my first Half Marathon! I returned in 2010 to run it in 1 hour 54 minutes, and plan to do it again in 2011. I decided to run this in aid of The PSC Trust and PSC Support in memory of my brother Carl, who died from liver failure in November 1997. If you'd like to sponsor me for this - please email me at pscrun@ulen.me.uk PSC Trust
